Touring Artists

David Rovics

"Listen to David Rovics ..." Pete Seeger

"... the peace poet and troubador of our time." Cindy Sheehan

"David Rovics is the musical version of Democracy Now." Amy Goodman

David toured with Alistair Hulett in December 2008. Audiences warmed to his songs and unassuming style with songs like 'New Orleans' and 'The Alligator Song'.

David Rovics has been called the musical voice of the progressive movement in the US. Amy Goodman has called him "the musical version of Democracy Now!" When Pete Seeger says listen to David Rovics" - listen! Topical, funny and a great musician.

Since the mid-90's Rovics has spent most of his time on the road, playing hundreds of shows every year throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Japan. He and his songs have been featured on national radio programs in the US, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Denmark and elsewhere. He has shared the stage regularly with leading intellectuals (Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn), activists (Medea Benjamin, Ralph Nader), politicians (Dennis Kucinich, George Galloway), musicians (Billy Bragg, the Indigo Girls), and celebrities (Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon).

Kids Shows (planning a couple of kids shows 4 - 8 yrs)

"David's ability to capture the imagination, fascination and participation of elementary school aged children is obvious from everything he does before his opening song until the last tune leaves his guitar... Children who see him perform more than once shout out song requests when they see him and sing along quickly to their favorite lyrics... While the themes of many of his original songs are silly and carefree he also includes songs that challenge children and their families to think about bigger, global issues... David's shows are full of wit and charm that makes his audience members of all ages glad they came out for the show. I highly recommend hiring David as a singer/songwriter for a one time event or regular schedule of performances."
